Questions
How accurate are the drive-time estimates?
Drive times reflect typical car travel for each airport-to-zone pairing, scaled by a traffic factor for the hour you select. They are planning estimates, not guarantees — weather, closures, and event traffic can move them.
Is the fare a quote?
No. The fare is an estimate band built from distance and published black-car base fares, including tolls and airport access fees. Your confirmed flat rate is set when you book — there is no surge or meter.
